A popular summer destination for many Norwegians
a rich heritage and a fantastic race-day atmosphere
Whether you’re entering your first or 50th middle-distance
this race caters for all abilities and strengths
and a final run through the city centre to a chorus of cheers and adulation
Alongside the main event – the middle-distance triathlon – there are also super sprint
and relay events (for both the middle distance and the Olympic+) to choose from
A 2hr drive south from Oslo makes Challenge Sandefjord easily accessible for competitors from across Europe and further afield
Its northern location does of course mean slightly cooler average temperatures for June
and you’ll be cruising to the finish line in no time
And if you’ve never ventured this far north
it’s a great opportunity to discover the delights of the Norwegian fjords and the country’s rich history
Here’s why you should add Challenge Sandefjord to your race calendar:
The race course at Challenge Sandefjord PB-ready and spectator friendly
You’ll start your day with a swim in sheltered waters
before heading out on the spectacular bike course with rolling sections and fast flats all against a backdrop of incredible Nordic scenery
The run course takes you on a tour of the city centre
taking in famous monuments and traditional sights as you make your way to the finish line
The four-lap run course winds through the city centre
passing famous monuments and trundling along narrow streets in Bjerregata
peppered with traditional Norwegian harbour town white houses
There’s a small climb up towards Brydedammen and the aid station
and the finish line is situated in Badeparken by the famous Whaler’s Monument
so pre-race practice in open-water in cold and variable conditions is going to be key for this race
For the long stretches through the Norwegian countryside
focus on building endurance for sustained efforts
Despite its relatively flat profile – the elevation gain is 490m – hill-climb training will give you the edge come race day
work on your pacing and maintaining focus as this will help you run repetitive laps through an urban environment
There are direct train connections from Oslo airport to Sandefjord, which take approx 2hrs. The train station in Sandefjord is then just a five-minute walk from the official race hotel – Hotel Atlantic. Tickets and timetables can be found here
The hotel is providing a discounted rate for all competitors for the weekend of 27-29th June
Sandefjord also has its own airport for flights from across Europe (note: there’s no direct from the UK to Sandefjord)
and is a 15-minute drive from the city centre
and there’s also an athlete bus transfer from Granholmen Camping to Badenparket for both the race briefing and on race day
the organisers advise friends and family to head to Sandefjord city centre
where you can cheer your loved ones on as they lap on the bike and run before finishing in Badeparken
The centre also has plenty of restaurants and bars to keep you well fed and watered as the action takes place
Sandefjord and its surrounding area is rich in Norwegian culture and history
there are several things you should tick off before heading back home
Sandefjord prospered thanks to the controversial industry
making it one of the richest cities in Norway
To better understand its impact on the community and the country as a whole a visit to the the Whaling Museum
which is Europe’s only museum dedicated to the history of the whaling industry
which is free for all and features the works of acclaimed Norwegian artist Knut Steen in marble and bronze
Steen created the aforementioned Whaler’s Monument
a rotating bronze statue located in Badeparken
If you’d like to get a better view of the area
consider an historical flight with Dakota Norway – Norway’s oldest airworthy passenger aircraft built in 1943
the DC3 Dakota flies at 1,000 feet during the summer season for fantastic views over the fjords
Get ready to race in the stunning coastal landscapes of Sandefjord
Challenge Sandefjord offers four race-day options and combines a tough course with beautiful scenery

A KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight went off the runway at Oslo Torp Sandefjord Airport in Norway after an emergency landing on Saturday
Officials reported that the Boeing 737-800
suffered a hydraulic malfunction shortly after takeoff
The aircraft landed safely at Sandefjord Airport but lost control during the landing roll. According to officials, the plane skidded off runway 18 and stopped in soft grass beside a taxiway.
There were 182 people on board, including passengers and crew, and fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Passengers were evacuated using mobile stairs while emergency personnel arrived at the site. Authorities are currently assisting travellers and crew members.
The airline confirmed the incident in a statement issued on Saturday.
”During takeoff of flight KL1204 from Oslo with destination Amsterdam this evening (28-12) a loud noise was heard. It was decided to divert to the Sandefjord airport.”
“After landing, the Boeing 737 veered off the runway into the grass at low speed. All 176 passengers and 6 crew members are unharmed and are being taken care of. The circumstances of the incident are being investigated.”

Challenge Sandefjord in Norway was cancelled on Saturday on safety grounds as road users failed to obey closures in the town and surrounding area after signs were removed
Pros and Age Groupers from all over Norway and 26 countries around the world had descended on the Scandanavian venue for what had been intended to be a festival of swim
But on Saturday afternoon things went badly wrong when the Middle Distance race for Pros and Age Groupers was cancelled
with organisers unable to guarantee the safety of competitors
The cause for that was road users failing to obey the local closures in place for the event after some road signs had been removed
A statement on the Challenge Sandefjord Facebook page read: “Unfortunately
we confirm Challenge Sandefjord is cancelled today for safety reasons on instruction from the local police
Athlete safety is paramount and we’d like to extend our thanks to local authorities for their hard work in testing conditions
“We’d also like to thank all the athletes for your patience and understanding
We share your disappointment that you are unable to race following all your hard work preparing for your big day
All athletes will be contacted directly by the race organisation in the coming hours with further information.”
explaining: “This is something we have not experienced before
I am truly sad for the athletes who travelled to Sandefjord from all over Norway and from 26 other countries.”
“The city center was really challenging
but there were also some road signs removed outside the city on the bike course.”
who masterminded Norway’s rise to triathlon prominence during well over decade as Sports Director for the Norwegian Triathlon Federation
On a day like this you are not proud to be Norwegian
Triathlon promotes a healthy lifestyle and a positive mindset that have changed many people’s life
“And likely the ones who sabotaged this could benefit of a more positive attitude and mindset.”
Its so sad. On a day like this you are not proud to be Norwegian. Triathlon promotes a healthy lifestyle and a positive mindset that have changed many people’s life. And likely the ones who sabotaged this could benefit of a more positive attitude and mindset😳 https://t.co/y5htVkyAmX
British pro Chloe Sparrow was one of the many athletes left upset and disappointed by what had transpired
She told TRI247: “Our day started not as early as normal..with a 1.30pm race start
this was all in Norwegian which we thought was odd for a big event
A lot of athletes had questions at the briefing where the answers to the majority of these questions were “i’m not sure”…this all started to feel a little disorganised
“We all made our way down to the race start at 12.45
to get there nice and early to prepare and start warming up
At 1.15 all the athletes started to line up on the pontoon
it was cold and we were all eager to start the race
At this point there were no officials in sight and no information on the start times (if pro women were going straight after the men
if it was a dive or water start) everyone was unsure on what was happening…
“At 1.30 the pontoon was extremely busy with all the pro athletes and age group athletes…still no officials in sight
At 1.35 there was an announcement saying the race is delayed until 2pm
At this point we were all cold and a little anxious
At 2pm there was a further announcement saying that we were waiting on the police to confirm it was safe on the bike course
At 2.30pm they made the announcement that the race is cancelled and that they were “sorry” and that was it
I’m sure i speak for many athletes when i say we were extremely disappointed and upset with this decision and lack of communication
“The race did nothing to try and put on an alternative like a swim-run
They apologised it wasn’t safe on the bike course and that was that
There had been no emails to athletes on explaining the reason for the unsafe bike course.”

The inaugural half-distance race at Challenge Sandefjord in Norway
which was also to be the Norwegian long-distance championship
was cancelled last weekend “for safety reasons on instruction from the local police,” organizers posted on social media
“Athlete safety is paramount and we’d like to extend our thanks to local authorities for their hard work in testing conditions,” the update from Challenge Sandefjord organizers continued
A field of professional and age-group athletes from 26 countries were at the event in Sandefjord, Norway, which is about 120 km south of Oslo. The half-distance race was supposed to start at 1:30 pm, but was delayed for more than an hour before it was announced that the race would be cancelled. The local newspaper, the Sandefjords Blad
reported that people were driving on the course
ignoring the barriers and that another had “thrown drawing pins into the cycle lane.”
We have confirmed that at least some of the athletes competing in the super sprint race on Saturday morning (before the half-distance race) were pulled off the bike course after one of two loops because there were cars on the course
The “barriers they had to block the road were plastic tape,” one supporter reported
so cars were able to easily break through and get onto the course
Triathlon Norway coach Arild Tveiten posted after the event
expressing his disappointment with the events of the day:
— Arild Tveiten (@ArildTveiten) August 24, 2024
forums and our own contact with athletes at the race
the event appeared to have difficulties even before the middle-distance race was cancelled
There were questions about the water quality and weather issues forced a change in the registration venue and the cancellation of the swim practice
According to numerous reports there was limited signage around the event
and the pre-race briefing was only in Norwegian
This is a post from “catocumulus” from reddit:
I was also going to participate in the race on Saturday
I can confirm that the whole event felt badly managed
The pre-race briefing left participants more confused than before
about what type of nutrition was available (bottles or cups)
if the water quality was good (the home page for the municipality had a “red light” warning for the day
but it is not clear if this is from an actual water quality test or just a precaution put in place after heavy rain)
if and where there would be placed carpets and generally quite chaotic briefing
which was canceled mid race (or at least the bike)
I talked to some of the participants and they told me it was almost no signs and/or guards in the streets
They said that nobody rode the right way and it was a complete disaster
I can confirm that the information to the participants standing in total for over an hour in our wet suits waiting to start was limited something like “We have to wait for green light from the police
they need to take a final check of the course” was the information given before they told us it was cancelled
there I talked to two people working in a bar who lives right outside the city
they told me they accidentally ended up in the middle of the course on their way to work
So it is clear that it at least is a combination of “sabotage” and understaffed/poorly managed and prepared event
According to a later post on Facebook (see below)
athletes have been given the opportunity to transfer their entry to selected events both this year and in 2025
but the 2025 Challenge Sandefjord event is not on that list
Event organizers reported on Instagram yesterday that “Following extensive consultations with the police
and the Norwegian Youth National Championship were held as scheduled yesterday at Challenge Sandefjord.”

After another dramatic weekend with two comeback wins, it was decided that four different nations will be represented in the EHF European Cup Men 2024/25 semi-finals
Runar Sandefjord continue their impressive European Cup campaign
The Norwegian side lost the first leg in Greece by six goals against last season’s finalists Olympiacos SFP
their defence was nearly unbeatable in the return leg at home
went in front by seven goals in the 38th minute
They even managed to increase their lead to ten goals to win 33:23 at home
It’s no news that a great goalkeeping performance can be vital in such close matchups in the knockout rounds
Runar Sandefjord’s Mats Bjørnstad (20 saves) and HC Izvidad’s Haris Suljevic (18 saves) confirmed this once again over the weekend
outperforming their counterparts by eleven and seven saves
The only team seemingly not going with the trend were HC Alkaloid
They comfortably beat CS Minaur Baia Mare by seven goals in the return leg
with goalkeeper Ivan Galevski drawing the goalkeeper battle at nine saves between him and the Romanian side’s three goalkeepers

A KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (KL) Boeing 737-800 had to undergo an emergency landing on December 28 after which it veered off the runway at Oslo Torp Sandefjord Airport
This comes at a time when another Boeing 737-800 jet was involved in a crash that killed at least 179 people today
KLM aircraft veered off the runway following the landing
all 182 passengers and crew members aboard—176 passengers and six crew—were unharmed
located about 110 kilometers from Oslo Airport
The decision to land at Torp Airport came after the aircraft experienced a malfunction in its hydraulic system
which authorities believe contributed to the incident
while the emergency landing was successful
the plane lost control after touching down and went off the right side of the runway
The airline confirmed that no injuries occurred as a result of the accident
but an investigation is now underway to determine the exact cause of the hydraulic failure

which is developing the all-electric seaplane programme ‘Noemi’ (No Emissions) has moved into its new home at Torp (Sandefjord) Airport in Norway
The airport is the largest privately-owned air transport hub in the country
Housed in the airport’s expansive hangar
Elfly’s new base features 1,160 sqm office and workshop space and it is here that the company plans to build the first full-scale ‘Noemi’
Elfly is developing a full-scale prototype of its seaplane in collaboration with the Norwegian Government
Plans are on track to commence the build this summer and Elfly’s team now includes 30 senior engineers
Expressing his delight at the arrival of Elfly
said: “We at Torp are thrilled of the news that Elfly has chosen our airport as their hub for developing next generation seaplanes
Torp is encouraging Elfly in its efforts to introduce zero-emission aircraft
as electric planes undoubtedly will contribute towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly aviation
We look forward to following their progress very closely as a valued new tenant.”
Owned by the municipality of Sandefjord and Vestfold country
the airport is situated just over 100km southwest of Oslo
Elfly’s new neighbours at the airport will also include the Norwegian Air Ambulance and its expanding fleet of emergency medical services (HEMS) H135 and H145 helicopters
as well as several flying schools and training establishments and Wideroe’s Dash 8-Q400 maintenance facility
“Torp Airport is an excellent new location for us to build and engineer
while we retain our business unit in Bergen,” said Elfly founder and CEO Eric Lithun
“It affords us plenty of space to grow for testing and also as we ramp up our team this year
the airport’s dynamic management are very enthused by our plans to return seaplane travel to the fjords and lakes of Norway – and beyond
Our goal is to fly the first Noemi prototype in 2026.”

the Hvalfangst Museet or Sandefjord Museum claims to be Europe's only museum that is solely devoted to the study of and education about whales and whaling
Given the giant whale models on display and the real-life whaling ships you can explore
it may at least be the only whaling museum that you ever need
The museum was originally built back in 1917
marking Sandefjord's first ever museum building
It was the brain child of one Lars Christensen
who set out to educate the public of the day about the plant and animal life living in Antarctica
and about the history of the whaling industry
the museum has continued to grow and evolve
while never losing sight of its mission to educate visitors about the great behemoths of the sea
Today the museum has a number of unique attractions that let visitors get a glimpse of the interaction of humans and whales
Inside the museum there are exhibits that track the history of the whaling industry
focusing on Norwegian whaling in particular
but spanning all of the oceans of the globe
There is also a zoological portion of the museum that features recreations of many of the common animals from the Arctic and Antarctic regions
there is a full-size recreation of a blue whale hanging from the ceiling of one of the galleries
Outside of the main museum building there is also the Southern Actor
a 1950s whaling vessel that is still in working order
although it is no longer used for whaling.
Whaling as an industry might be an unfortunate blight on our relationship with the oceans
but it has an interesting history nonetheless
Possibly as a testament to how fascinating we find the giants of the sea in general.
this whale skeleton has been slowly dripping oil on the floor of the museum where it hangs
and sperm oil make up just a part of this comprehensive collection of whaling history
are housed in this museum in a former candle factory
A microcosm of the whaling industry in a small Australian town
A former elementary school houses one man's extensive collection of art
Canada's largest dinosaur skeleton was hidden away in storage for more than 40 years
A vast and opulent collection of art and show dog memorabilia collected over one man's lifetime

Orbx has released Sandefjord Airport (ENTO) for P3D v4.4 and above
Developed by Finn Hansen and Jakub Lukaszewski
the major Norwegian airport sees plenty of traffic linked to numerous airports in the region…
the major Norwegian airport sees plenty of traffic linked to numerous airports in the region and across Europe
the airport has a single runway that can handle a variety of aircraft sizes and types
Wizz Air and Ryanair take passengers to destinations such as Alicante
Both Finn and Jakub have built the airport with the latest technology
Not only is the airport modelled with PBR and 4K textures
but the team have also included interior modelling and passengers to make the experience as authentic as possible
Those who do buy it can also enjoy custom and dynamic night lighting
As the airport is situated near various mountains and challenging terrain
the team has terraformed and created mountainside modelling to ensure it all blends together well
Scattered around the airport are distinct and unique ground service equipment
static GA aircraft and a range of custom cars throughout the various car parks at the airport
both developers have made a conscious effort to ensure that performance is not compromised for simmers
This is the latest airport from Finn who is also behind other Orbx airports like Hammerfest
You can buy Sandefjord Airport from OrbxDirect now for $24.95 AUD (approximately US$19.41 | €16,14 | £13.98).
Designed by Norwegian architecture firm R21
the multi-part pavilion features floor-to-ceiling glass on all sides protected by wooden slats and retractable wood shutters
Paying homage to the previously existing building
the design covers the exact footprint of its predecessor's
and references traditional boat houses in shape and wood frame construction
Wood beam columns frame the glass structure like a skeleton
while concrete plinths elevate it off the ground
the cabin is built with two mirroring bedrooms and bathrooms at it’s core
leaving all surrounding space open for dining and communal use
The many glass doors open, along with the shutters, creating a unique indoor-outdoor environment (though reminiscent of one of our favorite Upstate NY budget builds)
If this is what summer in Norway has to offer
it makes sense why so many are willing to sit through the darkest days of winter

In the World´s Championships in Oman in January 2023 Poland’s Emilia KIJOK caught the spectators attention with her offensive and fearless play that made her reach the podium in both Singles and Doubles. That might have been a surprise for some players outside Europe but at the European Veterans Championships in Sandefjord she is the favourite.
KIJOK plays for the Zielona Góra (means Green Berg in English) Table Tennis Club a team that was promoted to the top league in Poland just a couple of weeks ago. She played for top tier Bundeliga clubs such as TuS Bad Driburg and she has played table tennis for 38 years. Table tennis is such an important part of her life so besides her job as a physioterapist table tennis occupies the rest of her time.
Emilia KIJOK has started well in Sandefjord as well winning all her matches in Singles losing only one set and in Doubles with her friend Dorota BORKOWSKA also from Poland.
KIJOK has prepared very well for the Championships and has also focused on the mental part of training. Her ambitions are nothing less than winning. With her focus and dedication and support from the big polish crowd in Sandefjord that might very well happen.
The European Table Tennis Union (ETTU) is the governing body of the sport of table tennis in Europe, and is the only authority recognized for this purpose by the International Table Tennis Federation. The ETTU deals with all matters relating to table tennis at a European level, including the development and promotion of the sport in the territories controlled by its 58 member associations, and the organization of continental table tennis competitions, including the European Championships.

the introduction of aviation taxes impacted on passenger traffic forecasts before the pandemic set in and shattered them
In some countries the taxes were quite hastily withdrawn
in others they continue and in some cases have been increased
one of two secondary airports to the south of Oslo that mainly handled low cost carrier business
Now that firm has put it up for sale and the prospects of disposal as a going concern seem remote. The firm, Jotunfjell Partners
is unlikely to be attracted to other airports after this experience
